Ok guys, maybe I’m completely stupid.

How do I upload a script file to /var/lib/veeam/scripts using console?

I go to the Files tab and browse to the directory. I can edit, rename, delete files, create directories, but how do I simply upload a file!?

Thanks

LOL

      In Veeam v13, there isn't a dedicated "upload scripts" section in the console. Instead, you create your scripts on the Veeam Backup Server and then reference them within the job settings.

      Open the Veeam Backup & Replication Console ==> Navigate to Home → Jobs ==> Right-click your backup job and select Edit ==> Go to Storage → Advanced ==> Select the Scripts tab.

       

      Hope this helps!

        Because of the way the VSA is locked down you need to do what Ken said to reference scripts for jobs.

          ​@Jeronimo - yeah, as already stated..you are not able to do this with the VSA. If memory serves, I think Veeam was thinking about this behavior and somehow allowing upload in a future release, but I can’t recall definitively. Because of the the sole purpose of what the VSA entails, I wouldn’t count on that option anytime soon though, or maybe even ever. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙂
